Jim Rogers has been wrong a lot Years ago who was screaming sugar sugar sugar look what happened.

On some, I have been screamed at and told to leave immediately.  

Screams opportunity to me...I was with a native for the week I was there and was asking TONS of RE questions and still don't understand it. 

It screams to me high payment and heavily declining asset. 

Regulators will scream if a bank finances a past problem property without a heck of a good reason to do so.Be it a SFD or especially a multi or commercial property, there is a reason the borrower went belly up, that often has issues with trails leading back to the property.

i'd use the most recent service request / work order the tenant initiated (if any) as reason to follow up (via visit or in ur long distance situation, phone) with principalafterall, PM is only an agent between u 2, not a wall.

If you found a screaming deal that a lender would buy themselves (one that was a good fit for their own portfolio) they would still prefer you bring some of your own funds but they would be more likely to fund the entire deal.

I remember an article in the WSJ that calculated Phoenix had 20 years of shadow SFR inventory:) The guys that were saying how crazy we were to buy back then are the same ones screaming how anyone buying today is a sucker!

I would run away with my arms in the air and screaming NNNnnnooo

But if you just run the typical midwest numbers assuming no appreciation then it's a screaming deal just like Indy....or is it?
